January 23, 2017
Happy New Year to all RCM Members!
Please be advised that we have received an invitation from our sister club, the Rotary Club of Osaka East (RCOE) for us to participate in the celebration of their Club's 60th anniversary. The anniversary will be celebrated on May 27, 2017. No other details or plans have yet been discussed but there is a possibility that there may be other occasions to meet and bond with RC Osaka East's members a day or two before May 27, 2017. Please see invitation below.
May we request all who are interested to participate in this event to confirm your intentions by sending an email to Ms. Anna Toledo. To avoid any miscommunications please expect a reply from Ms. Anna Toledo to confirm that you will be attending.
Please note that RCOE advises us that only fifteen (15) seats are allotted for RCM in the formal celebrations. That being said, spouses are definitely welcome to join the group. If more than fifteen members attend, wives can still avail of the shopping, cuisine and sights in and around Osaka. All these are outstanding as Osaka is one of Japan's largest and most popular cities. Our hosts have shown their warm hospitality many times over.
The following members have already signified their intentions to attend this event: (1) Pres Teddy Ocampo, (2) Spouse Baby Ocampo; (3) Dir Susing Pineda; (4) Spouse Marites Pineda; (5) Dir Art Lopez; (6) Spouse Letty Lopez; (7) PDG Vince Carlos; (8) Spouse Tina Carlos; (9) PD Nick Locsin; (10) Spouse Lucille Locsin; (11) Rtn Mike Ozaeta.
Pls send your confirmation to join the delegation of Rotary Club of Manila. Thank you. Happy New Year.
